The Farmhouse at People’s Light Theater is a hidden gem of a venue near Philadelphia, and was host to Sara and Tyler’s wedding on June 10 2023.

The lush gardens, adorned with vibrant blooms and a sense of tranquility, perfectly complemented the fairytale theme. The theater’s elegant charm combined with the couple’s vision to create an ambiance that was both magical and romantic.

Sara and Tyler’s love story began as high school sweethearts, a tale of young love that had grown stronger with time. Their journey from teenage infatuation to a deep, unbreakable bond was the foundation of the day’s celebration. Every glance, every touch, and every shared smile told a story of a love that had weathered the tests of time and emerged even more beautiful. 

The fairytale garden theme came to life through the exquisite floral arrangements by Grapewood Florals. The pastel colors, delicate petals, and fragrant blooms transported everyone to a world of enchantment. From the bridal bouquet to the table centerpieces, each floral creation was a work of art that added a touch of elegance to the entire event.

Sara’s radiant beauty was brought to life by the talented hands of Houpette Beauty for makeup and Shannon Boyle for hair. With their skillful artistry, they enhanced Sara’s natural features, creating a look that was both timeless and ethereal. The result was a bride who looked and felt like a true fairytale princess as she walked down the aisle. The couple opted to read letters to each other and have a first prayer together instead of a first look, so the first time they saw each other on the day was walking down the aisle.

DJ Ben Campbell ensured that every moment of Sara and Tyler’s wedding was accompanied by melodies of love. From the emotional procession to the lively reception, the music added an extra layer of magic to the atmosphere. The couple’s choice of songs reflected their journey and their shared experiences, creating a soundtrack that would forever remind them of this unforgettable day.

Sara’s wedding dress, sourced from Blessing Brides Ministry, was a masterpiece that embodied the fairytale theme. The intricate lace detailing, flowing train, and timeless silhouette transformed her into the embodiment of a modern princess. Every step she took was a graceful dance, and every twirl seemed to bring her closer to her happily ever after.

As a wedding photographer, my role is to encapsulate the emotions, the details, and the essence of Sara and Tyler’s day. From the nervous excitement before the ceremony to the exuberant joy during the first dance, every click of the camera was a commitment to preserving their fairytale forever. These photographs would serve as a cherished keepsake, allowing them to relive the enchantment of their wedding day for generations to come.

Sara and Tyler’s fairytale garden wedding was a testament to the power of love and the magic of dreams coming true.
